Best Buy Cuts Magic: The Gathering Prices by Up to 50% in 24-Hour Flash Sale

Q: What hidden catch makes Best Buy's deeply discounted Marvel Scene Boxes a risky gamble for hardcore collectors?

The catch is that Best Buy is selling the Marvel Scene Boxes blind: buyers cannot choose whether they get **Heroes United** or **Villains Unleashed**. That matters because Scene Boxes are **not randomized internally**. Each box name always contains the same six exclusive foil borderless cards, plus the same art cards, three Play Boosters, and an easel. For a hardcore collector trying to complete both Marvel scenes or target specific exclusive cards, the discount becomes a gamble: you may receive a duplicate of the box you already own instead of the other one you need. For collectors, that is a bigger risk than with normal boosters, where randomness is expected. Here, the value is tied heavily to getting the correct sealed variant, since the six featured scene cards are fixed and exclusive to that product. If Best Buy does not let you select the version, the low $19.99 price can still translate into wasted spend if your goal is completion rather than casual opening. In short, the deal is strong for bargain hunters or players happy with either Marvel scene, but for completionists it carries a real downside: **you are paying for a specific collector item without control over which of the two exclusive boxes you receive.**
